Craft in America | Ceramic artist Joan Tayama-Ogawa on social commentary in her work @craftinamerica | Uploaded October 2022 | Updated October 2024, 5 hours ago.
craftinamerica.org. Joan Takayama-Ogawa is an accomplished sansei, or third-generation ceramic artist. Building on her family’s rich creative history, she studied under the renowned artist Ralph Bacerra and went on to develop work that used ancient Japanese ceramic forms as a guide in creating contemporary pieces that utilize decoration and imagery of an American lifestyle. Takayama-Ogawa’s technically diverse ceramics blend unexpected methods to create environmental, social, and political commentary.
